After two weeks of study and exploration, at the end of the first month of the spring of the new year, the city hall chief Barov held the first enlarged meeting of the city hall in the castle living room at the request of His Highness.
In addition to the heads of various departments of the first plenary session, the enlarged meeting also included some of the fortress nobles, with the number of participants reaching as many as 65.
The learning process itself is an assessment. After Barov took charge of the city hall for a year, it was easy to distinguish which nobles were suitable for such jobs, and which nobles had no value in training. Therefore, nearly half of the nobles were excluded in this level alone.
According to His Highness, he has given these little nobles the opportunity to take the express bus. Since they missed it, there is no way. Those who cannot keep up with the times will only be eliminated by the times.
Barov deeply felt this. Whether His Highness was a devil or a god, his territory had already shown a completely different atmosphere from other parts of the kingdom. If this was the new era, he would be happy to go with His Highness.
The main content of today's meeting was to make a final vote on the unified law after the city was established, and at the same time let the fortress nobles know the content of the law in advance. Barov had been preparing for this for a long time, and now it was finally time to unveil the curtain.
There was a thin hard-cover book in front of everyone, with a string of golden characters printed on the cover, which was also the core law drafted by His Highness the Prince and modified by himself.
Just by looking at the name, you know that Your Highness is far from his goal, and he also believes that Your Highness's power should not only work in the Western Region.
Let's start, His Highness Roland, who was sitting at the top of the long table, nodded and signaled.
Yes, Barov cleared his throat. I believe everyone in the city hall has known that the new city will be established in the West. The law before you is a general rule that will be implemented after the construction of His Highness's territory.You can refer to it yourself or listen to my statement. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot and your Highness will answer them.
There was a rumbling sound of flipping through books at the scene, and he also lifted the heavy cover to reveal the first page written in refined parchment paper below.
The first thing you see is the general outline, which mentions the structure and system of the new territory...
Article 1: All power belongs to Roland Wimbledon's territory under Roland Wimbledon.
Article 2: The Town Hall is the supreme authority of the territory, and under the leadership of Roland Wimbledon, handles all matters related to territorial governance.
Article 3: The influx population in the territory can be promoted to formal citizens through various channels, and the city hall should maintain at least three promotion channels.
Article 4: After becoming a formal citizen, there will be no longer the difference between free people, hired farmers, servants, and slaves in the past, nor will there be a difference between men and women.
Citizens are protected by the law, have all the guarantees and benefits of the territory, and have the obligation to pay taxes, serve and defend against enemies.
Article 5: Aristocrats are also members of the official citizens, and their titles no longer have corresponding powers and can be inherited as honorary titles according to law.
Article 6: The personal safety and legal property of citizens are protected by Roland Wimbledon and are inviolable.
Article 7: Citizens should have the right to receive education, the right to choose their jobs freely, and the right to marry freely.
Article 8 The territory encourages legal commercial activities and free trade.
Article 9,...
Barov stroked the pages of the book and told them down.
The laws formulated among the nobles rarely involve the people. Even the free people of the city are just objects for exploitation and recruitment in the eyes of the great nobles. It is rare for His Royal Highness to repeatedly mention the people under his rule in the system.
Perhaps he really believes that only by relying on the power of the people can we fight the upcoming war of doomsday.
Barov didn't care whether His Highness relied on was aristocrat or a people. He just wanted to do what His Highness had assigned to him as much as possible so as to hold these powers tightly in his hands.
When he was in the capital, he transferred from the Astrologer Association to the Minister of Finance as an assistant. He thought he would soon be able to step into the top level of the Gray Castle Kingdom, but he did not expect that for more than ten years, his agitation gradually became numb and desolate.
The reason why he agreed to Wimbledon III's request and followed the fourth prince to the border town was not only an illusory promise, but also a feeling of giving up.
But unexpectedly, he now realized his expectations in another way.
Barov had never seen a real devil, but he knew very well that the power of those iron armored knights could easily deal with them, and naturally he could wipe out the resistance forces of the entire kingdom.
Sooner or later, His Highness will be crowned as king and rule the world, and he will become the hand of the king with great power. If the Finance Minister is still alive, I wonder what expression he would use to meet him?
……
Since most of the content of the general outline has been promoted to the leaders in a more popular way, the heads of various departments were not surprised. They only aroused low discussions from the nobles when mentioning the prohibition of human trafficking and the abolition of slavery, and no one even raised questions about the other regulations.
As for the aristocratic reform, these little aristocrats have not enjoyed much of the benefits of territory on weekdays. Most people's territory is placed in deserted places, so naturally they don't care much about losing the so-called feudal and legal power.
With the past two weeks of study, many nobles have planned to sell their territory to the city hall and then use the money to open a new business such as a machining factory or chemical factory in Changge Fortress.
In this way, the law was explained one by one, and the expanded meeting lasted from morning to afternoon. At the banquet in between, the servants brought the meal directly to the table, and everyone watched while eating.
Barov's water cup was also changed several times.
Despite his sore throat, he still enjoyed it.
Finally, the meeting entered the last issue, which was the only regulation in the Basic Law of the Kingdom that allowed everyone to discuss and decide: to determine the flag and name of the new city.
Everyone's discussion became noisy in an instant.
So Barov first asked everyone to set up a name and the ideal pattern in their minds, and then placed it on the table for the participants to evaluate it to determine the final answer.
After several votes and eliminations, the flag and name of Xincheng were finally selected.
The former is based on the emblem of the Gray Castle royal family, with the pattern on the bottom still being a tower spear. A new pentagonal star was added above the tower, and three small stars were added under the tower. The big star symbolizes the lord Roland Wimbledon, while the small stars represent the city hall, the army and the Witch Alliance respectively.
The latter was established as Wudongcheng.
In addition to the heads of various departments of the first plenary session, the enlarged meeting also included some of the fortress nobles, with the number of participants reaching as many as 65.
